Have you ever hit the wrong button?

yes I have done that sometimes myself, it does happen we are all human and we do make mistakes.

I've never wrongly awarded the Best Response, but I quite regularly hit the wrong key when I'm writing a response and want to check it. It just goes with the fingers working faster than the brain!

I have wish I could take them back before especially when a better response comes along. But it is a mistake that maybe if you contact mylot they might change it for you. I have had best responses come unmarked mysteriously so maybe they can unmark it for you?

Oh yeah, I do hit the wrong button some times. But it is not for the best response award. Most time it is the tagging of discussions and responses. Being too quick on the keyboard, I tend to go type type type... tab tab tab... enter... type type type... tab enter. Sometimes I make a mistake and try to go back to correct the error, only to hit the tab button instead of the caps and then do the enter. And that is it, the discussion is posted without the proper tags. Sometimes it is the backspace, which will literally bring the browser back one page, taking away all that I have typed on the discussion I am replying to. And I gotta start over for that post! It can be frustrating some times.

I do hit the wrong button most of the times when I'm in a hurry. That totally sucks and instead of getting things faster I end going back. In mylot I did had that experience too. Instead of hitting the respond button to a discussion I accidentally responded under another response and I realized it only after I have done the response. Hehe. Duh!!!

Yes, that is what you geet for your late night mylotting. As new to this forum, i only had a few responses and few opportunity to give BR. Till now, i have not given it to a wrong person. But i get confused when i see similar response to a discussion and sometimes get confused as to whom i should give BR..

that particular incident did not happen to me.but i tried to start a new discussion and i wanted to upload a photo along with that and i accidently hit the start button without uploading the photo.

Yes, I have givena best response. I wish I would have waited and gave to someone else. But that is okay I guess. I now wait a little longer before I hand out best responses. Do people get more points or something for best response?

Hi sacmom, Sometimes thing happen, I don't know if you like this person or not. But I would look at this way, if you don't know that person, and he/she got a BR I bet it made this person happy. What I would do is go find the person's name who you wanted to give it to and just give to her for another discussion and tell her that it was for the one before or send her a private message.

I don't think I've ever doled out the BR to the wrong person, but now that I've said that, I've likely jinxed myself into doing just that. LOL! I would be frustrated with myself too though. I can understand how you feel. Perhaps emailing the people who's responses you had been considering for BR would make you feel a bit better? lol.

hahaha!!! I experienced the same. I suppose to give best response to the person next to him but I hit the button.. Oh!! I can't delete it, I just close my eyes for regrets why I am so careless? he doesn't deserve it but.. anyway, we will just be careful next time.

It happens and I would not let the person know so they do not feel bad. I think some people give BR too soon. I wait until time has passed a bit before rewarding one. Well, if it was me, I won't be insulted. LOL

Even same thing happened to me few weeks back. I accidently gave best response to a wrong person. Though it was a good response, but there were few more responses which deserved best response. I felt very bad that day, i felt like it was just like cheating those who spent thier quality time for my discussion. But i have not told that person that i have given best response but a mistake. Because even i dont want to hurt him saying that. After that i am being more caustious about selecting best responses. Because these people deserve that, they always been good for me always try to write more interesting responses. Anyways i have to be more carefull in future, hope you too be carefull. Have a nice day ahead. Regards, Jnk3dfx.

I have done that so many times. It's frustrating I have been trying to pay more attention to it. I have definitely given it to the wrong person and wanted to take it back immediately. But I am like you and sometimes I mylot late into the night and that gets me into some trouble!

In quiet moments i have done this. It is just one of those things that happens and so I just get on with it. Its not one of those things id type about though lol blessed be

Oh, I've done that before and it wasn't even a GOOD response, let alone the best one... Or I'll have my mouse somewhere else, thinking it's in a different place and end up hitting the wrong button. Or I get really carried away and hit the submit too soon.... And this happens when I'm wide awake, not just late at night :)

Apparently I did it the other day. I was looking over a discussion I had started just a day prior, when the screen changed to the next page. I thought I must have done something to it, and when I looked, the discussion then had a best response. It was a response I had not even read yet, because I hadn't gotten to that page. My conclusion is that I must have pressed enter by accident, because I don't believe I was even using my mouse. When I did read what had been marked best response, it wasn't the best one, but it was still pretty good, so I felt better about it.

You bet I have not just on the + and - buttons but on the submit button and on the back button too. I get going and not paying attention to what I'm doing and then I end up messing it up. I've done the best response goof a few times too but there's not much I can do about it so I just keep on going. [b]~~MY OWN PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF**[/b]

I wish there were an editing button.....besides BR sometimes I make typing mistakes that takes away from the response etc....I have given BR to the wrong person....It's when I have alot of responses and mark it and forgot about someone towards the end.

Yes, I have hit the wrong button before too. But I didn't worry about it because marking the best response isn't one of my priorities so it wasn't that important to me. I wouldn't want to take it back anyways, so it is okay for me. The best response doesn't do anything for a member anyways, according to Crash. It has no affect on our star rating or our earnings. It is just a thing we do to give someone a good feeling about work. I also mark best response because I like to have my discussions all resolved so they don't show up in the unresolved file. I like to keep a clean house and that includes here in mylot too. hehe Alrighty then, talk to you later, Your friend, Chris
